“March 1977, I landed in Bologna, in an unknown city on the brink of civil war. Arranged, decisive stay with bits of memories, snippets, first names, fragments of effervescence: that of my awakening to World, to desire and that of a general rebellion that shook Bologna like a spasm.” Bologna Centrale began as a radio piece for France Culture, broadcast in March 2003, and is a kind of film diary, a retrospective autobiography, a sort of sentimental documentary about the late 1970s in Bologna where Dieutre lived for three years and returned 20 years later. The film also explores the Italy’s political history during the period when it was stricken by terrorism.
As artisanship became a part of artistic practices with the blurring of art and craft, the use of traditional motifs has also flourished. In this context, how are these motifs currently structured or designed beyond their traditional connotations?
Pera Museum presents an exhibition of French artist Félix Ziem, one of the most original landscape painters of the 19th century. The exhibition Wanderer on the Sea of Light presents Ziem as an artist who left his mark on 19th century painting and who is mostly known for his paintings of Istanbul and Venice, where the city and the sea are intertwined.
1638, the year Louis XIV was born –his second name, Dieudonné, alluding to his God-given status– saw the diffusion of a cult of maternity encouraged by the very devout Anne of Austria, in thanks for the miracle by which she had given birth to an heir to the French throne. Simon François de Tours (1606-1671) painted the Queen in the guise of the Virgin Mary, and the young Louis XIV as the infant Jesus, in the allegorical portrait now in the Bishop’s Palace at Sens.
